Is anyone having trouble getting bleach. My water is clear but I use a gallon a day once the weather starts to warm and getting belach, at a reasonable price, is not easy. Where are you getting it?

We have a 30 foot round pool that we use a mesh winter cover on. Usually I am good about taking it off before algae and debris build up but not this year. How do I keep the debris that is on top from dumping into the pool when I open it? Siphoning only keeps pulling water from below on to the top.

Just closed up for the season today. Storms are coming and I just don't want to deal with leaves blown into the pool. We solar heat and out water is still around 80. Hard to do but... That means I just finished wrestling the pool cover over this giant 6 foot long, four foot wide, several feet...

We opened our pool early this year because our winter cover, which we had wired all the way around the pool and then weighted down with milk jugs partially blew off in a wind storm a few weeks ago. Water was in the upper 50,s at that time so we decided to open it and put the solar cover on and...

I live in SE PA. We still have a few weeks before we would normally open our pool. Unfortunately the pool cover I bought for the winter was supposed to be for a 30 foot round pool but left very little overhang and even though we had cinched it with a cable and weighted it down with water...

We have a 30 foot round above ground pool that we are in everyday and almost every night. Thanks to TFP it is sparkling. Now the big challenge. I am trying to find lights that will really light up the pool. We have two Smart Pool 100's, one clear, and the other with colored lights. Between...

I have been having trouble keeping my FC consistent. It keeps going to the low side at about 2 to 4 ppm. I am trying to keep it up at about 7 ppm. There is no sign of algae. Water is always crystal clear. Pool temp running between 80 and 85 with a few clear days and a lot of cloudy days...

Everyday I put bleach in to raise my FC to 4 but each morning it keeps coming back as FC1 or 1.5 and CC .5. My PH is 7.4, ALK is 120. It stays the same pretty much everyday. I am concerned that the FC keeps going back to 1 or 1.5 everyday. Should I SLAM it? Pool is crystal clear.

I needed to add a half gallon of bleach to my pool and we had just rearranged out garage and storage areas. Both gallons look almost exactly the same and both had a half gallon of liquid in. I didn't look and poured in the wrong one!!!! I am going to wait an hour and then retest but my pool...

We have a large, dished out to almost 6 foot, above ground pool. I am hand vacuuming it right now - and I don't mind that - but it is hard to get up all the leaves that way. I generally find it relaxing when I am not dealing with spring leaf and seed drop. We have a Hayward Ladybug that came...

I am having a similar problem. I have my TA for the last week at 140 and PH around 7.2 to 7.4. Today PH was 7.0 and TA reduced to 130 with aeration. What should i be doing to get it lower?

Wow -this Saturday we opened our pool to a very dark green mess. A lot of it was my own fault in not paying enough attention last year to pool chemistry. I thought I understood but really didn't. The other part was due to a bald cypress tree just behind our pool deck. We had our pool cover...

Our pool is a 30 foot round above ground pool dished out to approximately 6 feet deep. It is roughly 24,000 gallons. We have solar heating panels on the roof of our garage which goes up to about 20 feet high and we pump the water up to the panels (6 2' x 20' panels) through underground piping...

We put our new pool in this year and I purchased a Hayward Aqua Bug pool vac on recommendations from a friend and by looking at reviews online. Our pool is 30' round and is dished out in the center. The vacuum has no trouble going up the sides of the deep area but it gets to the outer walls...

We just put our 30" above ground round pool in. It has been up less than 2 months. We did not purchase coving because our pool installer (who has caused us many headaches) recommended building up the sand around the edges. We are now noticing many areas where the sand coving has washed away...

Hi. I am new to this forum and while I have had other pools before we just installed a new 30 foot above ground pool and the pool company has made it a nightmare. I am getting it resolved but I would love to hear other people's stories, no names involved, just to help lighten my mood. I am...

We just had a new above ground 30 foot round pool with a 52" wall put in. We have had a number of hassles with it but the two that concern me the most are: 1) we specified a 72" depth for the center of the pool and the agreement of sale shows this. When we were able to get in the new pool for...
